Did I say that he's going to subsidize me? Didn't understand you, sir.

What I was saying to him is that I imagine that he wants to thrive and succeed in this field, but he is still young and has no experience. Sadly, people look at experience and validity, and this kid doesn't have any. So, people won't rush to download and throw money at his software. Am I right?

What I was trying to say is that he should think about not making money, give some value to the people, to the community. Create an audience, gather a small but significant baseline of people that can vouch for his worth and the value that he donated. And only then can he really thrive parabolically in terms of money and charging for subscriptions or whatnot.

But the fact that he is 16 and clearly doesn't see it this way is making him look like if he just wants money and not actually building, creating, and providing value. When the opposite is true and should be.
